Most security software does link scanning in emails. The problem is with the number of SPAM emails. It's a distraction and annoyance. When on a large network can cause congestion. And with 100,000 malicious sites and apps being released per day it is no longer sufficient to assume that none will get through. So assuming an ISP filters SPAM is risky and when your ISP doesn't server your email because you have your own domain and email server you have to assume that you need to do this yourself. LOL yes you lone rangers have a completely different experience <giddyup>. -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Rocky Smolin Sent: Monday, February 11, 2013 11:39 AM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] SPAM filter for Windows SBS 2011 My ISP is Time Warner. I don't find that I am getting enough Spam to want to filter it any further. I also have avast! Which blocks sites with trojans or other malware should I happen to click on a link to a bad site. Not responsive to your question but I'm wondering now if my experience - not much spam coming through from my ISP who I assume if filtering for me, and AV software which stops me from clicking bad links - is common or if people find that more local filtering is necessary. I am a lone ranger here and not responsible for the odd things that 200 users might do. SO that may be a difference between our two environments.
